Hi Rickinfl,
it sound like you are using filestorage - is that correct?
If so, you probably forgot to setup "Pool Options to Limit the Volume
Usage" (see: http://www.bacula
.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Basic_Volume_Management.html)
This way you end up with one file per pool on that grows till you run out
of space - no recycling or retention is happening that way.
Bacula has a great mailing list - and a far as I know there are forums
basedon the mailing list. For paid support you can check out
baculasystem: http://www.baculasystems.com/
Don't be setup up. Bacula might be more complicated to configure than other
products (at least the open source version). But it is incredibly flexible
and robust.
Kind regards
Julian
